The Central Bank of Iceland conducts quarterly lending surveys among the four commercial banks. In the surveys, the banks are asked for their assessment of developments in supply and demand for credit; the factors that, in their opinion, had a decisive impact on supply in the previous three months; and their expectations for the coming six months. The results of the most recent survey, conducted during the period 1 July-14 August 2025, are based on the average of the commercial banks’ responses.

Monetary Bulletin provides a quarterly overview of monetary developments and prospects, including an inflation forecast, which plays an important role in the formulation of monetary policy.

The Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Central Bank of Iceland has decided to keep the Bank’s interest rates unchanged. The Bank’s key interest rate – the rate on seven-day term deposits – will therefore remain 7.50%. All Committee members voted in favour of the decision.
